Sorry, can't help you. I don't have this type of setup, so I've never
encountered the problem you are seeing.
I know I've seen this very question posted to this mailing list in the past.
Perhaps you can find the answer you seek by searching the archives? Tip:
Try using google with "site:cygwin.com" as the last search term.

>
>An update to the Cygwin/XFree86 package 'x2x' is now available.
>
>
>DESCRIPTION
>
>The usefulness of this utility will become apparent to anyone with a PC
>side-by-side with an *ix workstation. Simply bring up an XWindows session
>on each machine, run x2x on the PC, and use your PC's mouse and keyboard to
>control your *ix workstation's display. Works better and is cheaper than a
>KVM (Keyboard/Video/Mouse) switch. It also works much like a multi-headed
>X
>session.
>
>
>RELEASE HISTORY
>
>x2x-1.27-2 (current release):
>
> Bugfix and enhancement release. Changes are:
>
> 1) Fixed problem in which x2x consumes nearly 100% of the CPU.
> This was due to a problem in setting up a call to select(),
> which was causing it to be non-blocking.
>
> 2) Added some includes and cleaned-up some code to cut down
> on compiler warnings.
>
> 3) Added a whole new feature! Invoking x2d with a command-line
> flag of "-capslockhack"causes it to wrap Shift key Press/
> Release events around alpha keystrokes. I discovered I
> needed this feature because the "to" display I have uses the
> state of CapsLock on its attached keyboard to determine if
> CapsLock is on (instead of obeying the CapsLock Press/Release
> keyboard events).
>
>x2x-1.27-1:
>
> Initial Release. Vendor code built and package as-is.
>
>
>KNOWN BUGS
>
> Doesn't "work" very well with the new rootless mode of XWin.
> I plan to fix this in a future release.

>INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
>
>To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
>http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system.
>Save
>it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'x2x' from the 'XFree86'
>category. You may need to click the "Full" button if it doesn't show up.
>
>Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed
>due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a
>mirror which has this update.
>
>In the US, ftp://archive.progeny.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth
>connection.
>
>In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is usually up-to-date.
>
>In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.
>
>If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package you can
>either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.
>
>Please send questions or comments to the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list

>mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and
>comments about the setup utility or Cygwin/XFree86 in general.
